How did you find the golfs. I maintain the mk2 big bumper 16v gti is the best of the older breed, although I owned two with vr6 conversions. Properly quick!!
My favourite Golf had to be my supercharged Mk2 in Tornado Red, huge (£s) spec, built by Mike Spence Motorsport in Berkshire. The 16v (my Jetta 16v was Helios Blue) was ok, but you had to be revving it for any advantage over the 8v.

Although I did enjoy my MK1 1.8 in Mars Red, bit of a roller skate - my 205GTI 1.9 was pretty good though, probably one of the best was my Citroen BX16v in white - a very rare sight today.
